"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"Looking him up on wiki he has done an awful lot that I know (and like) very well, so my ignorance of his actual moniker is my loss. Currently catching up on Spotify. The man with the Golden Voice."

"You must know the Ace song ""How Long"" though? Currently all over the Amazon Prime TV advert. It's not about adultery, as most assume. It's about Ace's bassist moonlighting with another band. Lesser known trivia? Carrack also played keyboards in the debut album, The Smiths (by The Smiths) in 1984. Not even Michael Caine knows that."

"No. 8 was re-written (to be pedantic). Its a re-write of a very good very french song, Comme D'habitude by Claude Francois. A favourite of my dad's. I still have an old vinyl of it. Worth a listen on YT, to see how clever the re-write is."
